haha love these notes:

"start-shame on band, damn this record. makes me feel old and wise"

[ChaplainTappman]

what am i even reading? was this always like this?

[MADSTA]

Pretty embarrassing.

[El_Jeffe]

Haha ah well, it's surely a formula we all must have long suspected by this point. Exactly why I can't read their reviews.

[ChaplainTappman]

I'm being told that this review has always been like this and is deliberately so.

what is the point of this thread

[georgedcc]

It might be just a weird idea for a review and not necessarily a mistake. Maybe.

Their review for Desaparecidos was pretty strange as well: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/...speak-spanish/

Look at the link. Does that look like a typical review to you?

Was just looking for insight across the AP community on this one.

Wonder what the thought was behind it...

Very odd. Regardless, it's a very strange way to review of such a great album.

They wrote like this for a long period of time for whatever reason. Not sure what motivated them to stop.

Nope, can't say I've read much of their reviews before 2007 or so (when I started digging into different types of music).

Just thought it was odd.

here's a more pressing discussion from the past: remember when mattjritter got mad about the usher and frank ocean threads?
